Jay Z’s RocNation hires attorney for 21 Savage

RocNation hired attorney, Alex Spiro to represent Savage with his pending deportation case. This not the first time Jay Z has helped a fellow rapper in legal trouble, according to TMZ. Last year Jay Z helped embattled rapper Earl Simmons better known as DMX with his tax evasion case. Also, Jay Z and Philly rapper Meek Mill have formed a alliance for criminal justice reform. Jay Z and attorney, Spiro seem very upset about Savage’s treatment from ICE (Immigration and Customs). Savage attorney Spiro had this to say:

“We are not going to stop until he is released, bonded out or in front of a judge…What we have here is someone who overstayed their Visa with an application pending for 4 years – not a convicted criminal that needs to be detained and removed but, by all accounts a wonderful person, father, and entertainer who has a marijuana offense which was vacated and sealed.”

Jay Z added:

“In addition to being a successful recording artist, 21 Savage deserves to be reunited with his children immediately.”

21 Savage had a pending U Visa application that he was waiting to be approved. ICE may have done a background check which led to Savage’s arrest. Or it could have been the rapper’s new music about immigration officials behavior that was the cause.
